Yongsan / Itewon

Yesterday we took the first major outing into S. Korea.

Wife has learnt of this Electronics supermarket it Yongsan and had visited this place before and knew I would fall in love with this place. Which is what I did when we went there yesterday.

6 floors of Electronics/Home applicances/Furniture/ Books.
I havent seen gizmos laid out like this before.
A floor full of cameras, PMPs, PDAs, Music players, etc.
A floor full of mobile phones.
More than 2 floors of laptops, memory sticks, USB accessories, computer accessories.

I was AWESTRUCK!!!!! And ofcourse, I did some shopping too. I wouldnt say what all I got, coz they are meant to be surprises for those who will be getting them.

It is a must visit for all gizmo lovers who make it to S.Korea. Maybe there are better places, but this one is the BEST I have seen.

And then we went on to Itewon, just a small town and got some mufflers, a beautiful, fantastic leather jacket my wife got for me.

The weather was gorgeous.

After this shopping spree, we went on to Yeouido, which hosts the famed 63 Building with a Skydeck, which gives a cool 360 view of the city. And boy did we choose best to go by night. Here are some pics:

After a completely tiring day, we returned home. A day absolutely superbly spent.
